When did your baby start sleeping longer stretches?

Our daughter is almost 4 months and still waking up every 3-4 hours at night. I know that's 'normal' but I'm losing my mind on this schedule. My wife is exclusively breastfeeding and I feel helpless because I can't really take the night shifts to give her a break. Anyone have success with pumping so dad could do at least one night feeding? Just looking for hope that this gets better soon.

Man, 4 months is still pretty early but I feel you. My oldest didn't really stretch it out until like 5-6 months, and even then it was rough for a while. Hang in there, you're not losing your mind, you're just exhausted.

Tough season you're in right now. With three kids I've learned that every baby's different, but that 5-6 month mark is usually when things start clicking better. You and your wife are gonna get through this.

Dude, two under two here and I'm running on fumes. You're doing better than you think - at least your daughter's got a predictable schedule. My second was all over the place at 4 months.
